Green Zone (film)

Green Zone is a 2010 BritishFrenchAmerican war thriller film directed by Paul Greengrass. The storyline was conceived from a screenplay written by Brian Helgeland, based on a 2006 nonfiction book Imperial Life in the Emerald City by journalist Rajiv Chandrasekaran. The book documented life within the Green Zone in Baghdad during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

On March 19, 2003, Iraqi General Mohammed AlRawi Yigal Naor meets with his officers and aides in Baghdad to discuss the invasion of Iraq. AlRawi decides to wait for the Americans to arrive and offer him a deal.Four weeks later, U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller Matt Damon and his platoon check a warehouse for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. To Millers surprise, the warehouse has not been secured, with looters making their way in and out, as soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division are too few to do much. After a firefight with a sniper, Miller finds that the warehouse is empty, the third consecutive time he has found nothing. Later, at a debriefing, Miller brings up the point that the majority of the intel given to him is inaccurate and anonymous. Highranking officials quickly dismiss his concerns. Afterward, CIA agent Martin Brown Brendan Gleeson tells him that the next place he is to search was inspected by a UN team two months before. ........
